I became hooked on LOST during my senior year of highschool in the middle of season 3 (so I was a little bit of a late comer...) 24 episodes in a season times 2 (plus a half season online) about 45min each thats almost a total of two whole days of my senior year dedicated to catching up with this show. I guess I was so intrigued that it became an addiction.... I was like a zombie... "must watch onnnnee morrree episode....ssoooo goood." This show has drama, suspense, romance, and a good casting but the concept, the plot has tangled itself into a complicated mess. I suppose in admitting this, I'm admitting that I only watch TV with resistance to engage my brain. Now that I've stayed committed to the show up until this point (halfway through season 5) and there is only one more season until a resolution, there's no quitting now!! Should I really dedicate another whole day of my life to this show. It's T.V.! I wonder why I think about it this way. Millions of americans waste away in front of the t.v. without even pondering benefits or loses of their choice. Sometimes I'm annoyed by my own pompous reaction to entertainment instead of enjoying it for enjoyments sake. LOST is a nice break on wednesday nights of the week, a good social connection (and at times can provoke philosophical thoughts). So while I've considered abandoning it lately, I think I'm going to stay committed and try to enjoy it. (my one TV show)
